34 Sound Devices CL-6. While technically not a mixing surface, this add-on unit provided expansion capabilities for the 664 and 668 series recorders. Zaxcom Mix-16, a 16-channel mixing surface intended to interface with the Deva 16 recorder. Sound Devices CL-12. This full-function mixing surface provides additional capabilities for the 6 series recorders. recorders, and likewise functions primarily as a control surface. The mixer provides independent fader control for twelve inputs, giving the user control of level, input gain, phase, HP filters (and when used with the 688 recorder), 3-band equalization. It also provides control of recorder functions, along with monitoring and talkback communication functions for two boom operators. When used with a 688 recorder equipped with the SL-6 SuperSlot wireless receiver option, it is also possible to control the features of the wireless receivers. While the mixer interfaces with all the 6 series recorders via the USB port, power needs to be supplied externally for 633 and 664 series recorders. SONOSAX SX-ST Although the Sonosax SX-ST mixer is technically not a mixer surface, the inclusion of an onboard recorder as part of analog mixer is unique approach to integrated mixer/recorder products. The recording system can be provided as part of the standard SX-ST mixer line, and can be ordered with eight to twelve inputs. The SX-ST mixer utilizes eight program mix busses, which can be assigned to both the recorder and the Sonosax SX-ST mixer/recorder. A unique combination of an analog mixer with digital recorder. SOUND DEVICES CL-6 While not really intended as a fully featured mixing surface, the CL-6 functions as an expansion device for the 664 and 668 series recorders, allowing for additional input for control capabilities for inputs seven to twelve. Equipped with rotary faders, it allows the user to control the input gain with dedicated controls, as opposed to small trim knobs on the recorder. SOUND DEVICES CL-12 Conceptually similar to the Sound Devices CL-9, the CL-12 mixer is intended as an adjunct to the Sound Devices 6 series the CL-9 included many features found on traditional analog mixers, including 100mm linear faders, dedicated gain trim controls, two aux sends, parametric EQ, and two bi-directional boom comm channels. The power was provided via the USB port on the recorder, and the EQ functions mimicked the EQ features already included on the 788. ZAXCOM MIX-16 Introduced in 2018, the Zaxcom Mix-16 is a 16-channel mixing surface intended to interface with the Deva 16 recorder. With linear faders, dedicated input channel metering, buss assignment, PFL and gain trim controls, the Mix-16 provides many features found on traditional analog mixers, but also has some capabilities that can't be found on analog consoles, such as individual input channel delay, grouping functions, plus the ability to control the primary functions of the Deva 16 recorder. Additionally, provision is made to control the gain of Zaxcom radio mic systems via the Zaxnet control interface, enabling the mixer to instantaneously control transmitter gains for the corresponding inputs. Power for the mixer is supplied by a separate power source of 8-18 VDC.
